OpenDOAR, the Directory of Open Access Repositories, has now surveyed over 1000 candidate sites worldwide for inclusion in its list. This has produced a quality assured list of some 760 repositories.

A key feature of OpenDOAR is that all of the repositories listed have been visited by project staff, tested and assessed by hand. Around a quarter of candidate sites are currently declined as being broken, empty, out of scope, etc. This gives a far higher quality assurance to the listings than results gathered by automatic harvesting.

OpenDOAR is funded by JISC, the Open Society Institute (OSI), the Consortium of Research Libraries (CURL) and SPARCEurope.
